First off, hey everyone! New member but have been following for years to get lineup info early. Not a troll

For those that are hating then you really have no frame of reference or are just listening to what a few people have said on the internet about Skrill. Take this list and go to his youtube page.SummitDevils DenBreakin a SweetRuffneckAvicii "levels" remix (better than Avicii version)Lick it (featuring Kaskade)Nero "promises" remix (Nero is bada but this is very goodRock and RollBenny Benassi "Cinima" remix (better than the original)All I ask of YouWith Friends, long drive (written about his mother after her death)

Faceless internet writers hated on him from the get go. Calling him a sell out. This was prior to him ever releasing an album in some cases. Others where soon after 1, only 1, album was released. Most of them come from the purist EDM crowd. I see what they are saying. He is different and that is it. People do not like change. I love Pink Floyd but my how rock has changed and the world has not fallen apart. It has gotten better and grown. The is was electro is doing now, branching and growing.

I listened to some of his stuff bc a friend wanted me to go to his show here in Knox. I liked it but nothing special. What drew me to it was Rock and Roll and With You (check those out). After going to the show I was blown away. Top 5 shows I have been to and I have been to Roo 3x's.

Until you have a frame of reference I suggest you lay off Phi. Phi, lay of them in the I hate Skrill thread.

Thanks guys and hello to the board once again.

I almost forgot. To the guy that said something about Mau5 hating on Skrillex. Does this sound like a guy that is hating on skrill?

or

They are friends. Get a clue

I have a frame of reference.

Skrillex is permanently in the rhombus of disappointment for me. Just a terrible sound all around.

Walter Sobchak: Were you listening to The Dude’s story, Donny? The Dude: Walter… Donny: What? Walter Sobchak: Were you listening to The Dude’s story? Donny: I was bowling. Walter Sobchak: So you have no frame of reference here, Donny. You’re like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know… The Dude: (interrupting) Walter, Walter, what’s the point, man? Walter Sobchak: There’s no reason – here’s my point, dude, there’s no f*cking reason why these two… Donny: Yeah, Walter, what’s your point?

EDIT: I'm sorry, but anytime I read or hear "frame of reference" I immediately think of this and smile.

He has sometimes describing it as being in Gamehendge, and other times as being a route to get there. But the "rhombus" is nonfictional. It's a large black-painted metal structure (6'11" x 12' x 14'2") titled "New Piece", created by Tony Smith in 1966. Trey misled fans for years as to its location (e.g. on 12/3/95: "up the hill in the town of King of Prussia"; notably there's a leather goods store there named Wilson's). On the other hand, he has mentioned, for example, that it's near Waterloo ("this is the closest spot on tour to the Rhombus" @ 6/23/95.)

I honestly don't want to comprehend the thought process that would go into making a post like this.

It's so backwards in every way.

"Omg, i know how to make their heads explode, i will just say that Skrillex is better than FlyLo, that will make them bang their heads against their keyboards. But just incase they actually take me serious, I will add a funny .gif to lighten up the mood"

Oh no. I still love PB&J. Some honey-wheat bread that poops delicious. I was a kid though. We all know what you like in your prepubescent ages end up falling by the wayside due to a more selective choice.

Nutella adds a another layer of savoriness that lacks in PB. I think it's the hazelnuts but I've never been able to put my finger on it.

so who's decision was it to wrap up the entire music industry in a nice little box, and hand it over to this prick?

Yes, I can enjoy one, maybe two Skrillex songs now and then, but on the whole, I have absolutely no idea why he's being implicitly hailed as the God of all music. Every single fucking band and artist in the world is associated with him now. You'd be hard pressed to find an album that Skrillex isn't producing, or a song that Skrillex hasn't remixed. I don't know about you, but to me, it feels like this greasy-haired mofo is fucking everywhere. It's bad enough that he currently has fucking FIVE grammy nominations (despite the fact that every album he has released has been comprised of essentially one song, and then 10 remixes of that same song, and the fact that you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who can name a Skrillex song aside from 'Scary Monsters' 'First of the Year' or 'Kill Everybody'), but it seems like everyone is hopping on his colossal bandwagon and ripping off his sound (which was never original or creative to begin with). For example, a little while ago, Jonathan Davis of Korn (remember Korn? Yeah, I don't want to either) essentially stood up and proclaimed (actually look this up) 'we are no longer a metal band, we're completely switching over to dubstep, and Skrillex is producing our shit now. We know fans will hate us, we don't care, fuck you we're dubstep now.' This band literally abandoned their entire fan-base in order to leech onto this Skrillex fad. Notice that I don't say 'dubstep' (yes I know that sfdters have better tastes and like to call it brostep, shut the fuck up) fad, because from my experience, around 90% of people who claim to listen to 'dubstep' listen solely to Skrillex, and songs remixed by Skrillex. This dude is considered almost entirely synonymous with the entire dubstep genre, and even though I don't even listen to dubstep, It pisses me off. This guy was a shitty vocalist in a shitty screamo band who switched over to the next shitty emerging fad and somehow took it over entirely and proceeded to release his shitty music and be adored and worshipped by all his shitty fans with shitty musical tastes in this shitty world that he now owns. He's getting a trillion times more recognition than he should be getting, and it depresses me that 40+ years from now, Skrillex will probably be considered one of 'The Greats.'

quack Skrillex.

You are just the best.

Even though in 3 years when the bros move on to their next fad, he'll be forgotten forever by all but a small group
